Doesn't Work After 2 Weeks
on May 25, 2014
Posted by: SilverFng
I bought the product and it performed reasonably well at first. I shredded about 6 weeks worth of documents and had a total run time of about 45 minutes with plenty of breaks in between. Unplugged it and put it away. Decided to use it again 2 weeks later and it won't turn on. Won't do anything. Outlet had power, Basically it worked for 45 minutes and wouldn't work after that.
Pros: Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Secure Cut Size, Mess Reduction
Cons: Quality Construction, doesn't work after 2 weeks with limited use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Shredder Review
on July 27, 2014
Posted by: Misty
I purchased the shredder for household use. It works very well although it has jammed a couple of times. If the papers are not put in straight, they will fold and cause it to temporarily stop working. I easily fix it by reversing the blades and straightening it out. The shredder is a great size and fits in my home office without taking up too much space. I recommend this shredder to anyone who needs to shred small amounts of paper or old credit cards. It is a cross-cut shredder which is great to prevent identity theft!
Pros: Sheet Capacity, Quality Construction, Warranty, Shreds Credit Cards, Staples and CDs, Service Guarantee, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size
Cons: Mess Reduction, Quiet Operation, Jam Resistance
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review of Fellowes Equipment
on April 24, 2015
Posted by: GrayGhost0643
This shredder P58Cs is a replacement shredder for a Fellowes S70-2 which is about 10-12 year old. I liked the quality and performace of the older machine and decided to continue with a second of your manufacture. I like the styling and features of the new shredder and particularl the safe feature to avoid anyone getting their fingers in the shredding element and its quiet operation. The added feature of 9 sheets in a time saving feature also and security by the cross cutting action which makes documents nearly impossible to recover and put back together. I am looking forward to using this machine as long or longer than the older S70-2.
Pros: Quiet Operation, Sheet Capacity, Quality Construction, Safety Features, Secure Cut Size
I would recommend this to a friend!

Design of feed chute & Power cord
on November 23, 2016
Posted by: unhappy1
Whoever designed this shredder needs to spend some time using it. There is a decorative bezel around the paper entry chute that is higher than the surrounding cover. This prevents both single and multiple sheets from funneling smoothly into the machine. All they had to do is make that opening recessed and narrow the chute to prevent excessive number of sheets feeding into the machine which causes jamming. That leads to overheating and the machine stops. The power cord cracked right at the entrance to the machine. I went to open it up to repair/replace the cord and the screws are so cheap then the strip the phillips head out of the top forcing me to drill out the head of the screw. I need a replacement cord and can't find one on your website. It has the power/ lousy design and construction.
Cons: lousy design on entry chute, screws strip and prevent opening for cord repair
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
